The two sentences in the documentation of nl2br() are contradictory (only the second one is true):

- "Converts newlines to HTML line breaks"
- "Returns string with '<BR>' inserted before all newlines."

In the german version of the manual the description also suggests that the newlines are *replaced*.

May be you think it's a unimportant flaw, but in de.comp.lang.php it is a really frequently asked question - so please fix it. :-)
